A small greenhouse can be useful if you don’t have large areas or the resources to install a large one. We have already seen recently how to make a house greenhouse larger dimensions or we even explained the pros and cons of a polycarbonate greenhouse in the garden.
Therefore, today we will see how to make a small greenhouse and which models are suitable, both to buy and to make them.

How to make a small greenhouse or a mini greenhouse
There are many ways to make a small greenhouse. So unlike other articles or tutorials that we have published, explaining how to do them step by step, we are going to be more general. The idea is to show different alternatives that we have when it comes to building a mini greenhouse, and see which one may be the best fit for the space or needs. Also, as the dimensions are those of a chest of drawers or a small piece of furniture, they can be made with new or recycled materials, which makes them even more interesting.
Small greenhouse with recycled doors and windows
A very simple way to create a small greenhouse is to use recycled doors and windows. They are easy to obtain in an old building or a house under renovation, and the results can be very attractive:
The only thing we will do is join the different parts with brackets and one of them, the one that will act as the door, we will hang it with hinges, although only on one side.
Convert the table into a mini greenhouse
This small greenhouse made with a table can be more practical perhaps as a nursery. But in any case, it’s a very original way to recover an old table, or its legs attached to a drawer and give it a new and precious life:
Covered mini bed
This example is very interesting. It is a rectangular structure with an angled acrylic top. It doesn’t have many complications. It can take full advantage of sunlight and internal heat for several hours a day.
Little house with cover
This model of a small greenhouse in the form of a house is very simple to make, although in this case all the materials are purchased. These are wooden slats and polycarbonate plates. These plates could even be replaced by plastic, which is more accessible, and obtain a much cheaper, although less durable, mini-greenhouse.
Buy a small greenhouse
If what we are looking for is to buy a small greenhouse, we also have different options, many of which are quite accessible.
This model is a small horizontal greenhouse with zipped windows and a UV resistant cover:
